Página 85 - FRACTION is a negative number, and is one more than the number of ciphers between the decimal point and the first significant figure.
Página 6 - A radian is an angle at the center of a circle, subtended by an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle.
Página 25 - At a point 200 feet from, and on a level with the base of a tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is observed to be 60° : what is the height of the tower?
Página 122 - A cos 6 = cos a cos c + sin a sin c cos B cos c = cos a cos 6 + sin a sin 6 cos C Law of Cosines for Angles cos A = — cos B...
Página 82 - Whence x + y is the logarithm of mn. q. BD 10. Prop. 2. — Tlie logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is the logarithm, of the dividend minus the logarithm of the divisor.
Página iii - ... are not as many figures in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed to the dividend. In such a case, supply the deficiency, as in the division of decimals, by prefixing a cipher or ciphers to the quotient before annexing.
Página 135 - Two solutions exist so long as both values of c are positive, and less than 180°, that is, so long as sin c is positive. Now when a differs more from 90° than b, we have (neglecting the signs for a moment), cos a > cos...
